2012-2016 Solid Waste Management Strategy

Rethinking Our Waste

Building upon the success of its Blue Box and GreenCart programs, Halton Region is exploring ways to further increase residential waste diversion to 65%, and extend the life of the landfill an additional 4 years.

How the 2012 – 2016 Strategy Was Developed

In May 2011 Regional Council adopted the Draft Waste Management Strategy (Council Report PW 19 11) and initiated public consultation. This included 4 public open houses, an online survey completed by 300 residents, and a telephone survey with 800 participants. The feedback was incorporated into the strategy.
